I HAVE A TREMENDOUS IDEA: HOW ABOUT THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT NOT JUST REBUILD ALL THE SHIT DONNY DESTROYED, BUT ALSO ACTUALLY HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS CRIMES — AND LOCK HIM THE FUCK UP ALREADY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST, WHICH YOU CAN READ HERE: bit.ly/4hrlTV9

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

I am looking forward to this hearing. It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.

And the serial killer's name is Stephen Miller.

I fucking knew it.

NEW: House Judiciary's Jamie Raskin is echoing Jack Smith's demand for public hearings: "I am now calling on you to accept Mr. Smith's offer to testify at a public hearing so the American people can all hear directly from him on the matters we will be questioning him about." tinyurl.com/yrmrdr3t

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Thanks John Roberts!

Millions of Americans are bracing themselves for a significant hike in their 2026 health insurance premiums without the subsidies at the center of the government shutdown battle. It comes as insurance costs are rising significantly throughout the country.

this is very satisfying to watch.

Updating my LEGO White House

Nailed it

Johnson on Grijalva: "There's a lot of important case work to be done by her constituents who need help and guidance, & she could be on the phone all day as the rest of us are trying to help her constituents navigate through it. Maybe the House Democrat leaders need to give her a little guidance."

Truth.

Even in the movies, scenes of the White House getting blown up by invading aliens or terrorists feel emotionally unsettling. It’s the People’s House after all. So imagine having to witness its destruction in real life…and the culprit is the President.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

He lost the 2020 election. He knew it. He lied about it. And now he’s demanding your money because knowingly lying didn’t make him President.

I’d say “eat the rich” but they probably taste like ketamine and microplastics

While you’re paying more for groceries, Trump is building himself a new ballroom and buying new private jets. You deserve better.

EXTORTION LETTER

Trump gets a lot of well-deserved shit but the unmovable clowns who keep supporting him deserve even more

a functional press would, every single day, repeatedly, across numerous paragraphs in every story about him, make it clear that this is indisputably the most corrupt President in U.S. history

These images? Mere shadows of the ongoing destruction increasingly, rapaciously, being inflicted upon Constitutional Democracy…

You guys I’m really sorry but I am never going to forgive him for ripping a side off the White House and I am never going to forgive all the people who could have stopped him but just kept going along to get along.

Here’s hoping they serve the same ultimate purpose for their inhabitants

About 6 in 10 Americans are “extremely” or “very” concerned about their health costs going up in the next year, a new AP-NORC poll finds — a worry that extends across age groups and includes people with and without health insurance. https://to.pbs.org/4ncVsUv

Which corporate entities paid for the demolition of the White House as a bribe to the felon Donald Trump? We need names.

Trump is head of the DOJ and demanding we pay him $230 million because, though guilty, he forced DOJ to drop the case, and now he is AGAIN a pathetic, whiney VICTIM. L Every Republican needs to speak up or be asked about this by media. The grifter is grifting.

It just takes so many people, like so so many people, to knowingly lie constantly so this fraudster, abuser, and pedophile can get away with the largest grift in U.S. history—each and every one of them hoping to get a cut of the loot, too arrogant to realize they’ll be the first to face the music.

happy bday writer Ursula K. Le Guin, b.1929, Berkeley, CA. “Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.” “We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?”

After securing $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid earlier this year, Trump is now demanding a $230 million payday from the government.

"I don't know anything about that so I'm afraid I can't comment." --Speaker Mike Johnson, repeatedly

If one of your Senators is one of the four (Thune, Scott, Lankford, and Johnson) who has come out v Ingrassia for his Nazi views, you might call and ask when they're going to call out Stephen Miller, who is also a white nationalist, but who also serves as a gatekeeper to what Trump thinks is true.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

This is genuinely gut-wrenching. Anyone associated w this structure knows the endless ranks of people, over the decades, who have treated the structure and surroundings w respect—since they were symbols for traditions of America as a whole Too apt a metaphor for Trump and US institutions overall
